Dear All, Please note my wife received a call yesterday from Mitsubishi, Al Habtoor Motors to inform that there is a callback for all Mitsubishi Pajero and Galant from 2004-2015 models for a problem regarding the airbags. The rectification will take 3 hours and you need to get an appointment from them to leave the car at one of their service station. So any Pajero or Glant owners for 2004-2015 models please get in touch with Al Habtoor Motors Service Centers to book your appointment and get the issue rectified. http://www.habtoormotors.com/mitsubishi/service-centres/

You can buy sticker kits on eBay. You can even change the color of the dash clocks if you want. I've had to do it the other way round before, kph to mph with imports coming from Japan to U.K. Bear in mind that if you do this, your odometer will be wrong as it is reading in miles instead of kilometers.

If I am not wrong I think you got to change the whole instrument panel with GCC specs or similar car that shows in Kms. More experts can comment here: @Barry @shadow79

Off course Basit, you are more than welcome anytime. Rahim bhai was sharing some of your 4x4 hunting details with me and I'm happy that you are choosing second car as a weekend warrior. Smart thinking.

@Gaurav Bhai. Knowing that you have just started to learn and experiment with putting these videos together, i feel that you are doing an amazing job of going through all the material, selecting the best of the best for us to see and releasing these videos well before the next drive. They turn out better and better every time and your choice of music is always appreciated to go with the awesome visual. Keep up the great trend bhai.
